Serrapeptase
Serrapeptase is an enzyme that was first discovered in the intestine of silkworms. This enzyme is necessary in order for the silkworm to dissolve the hard cocoon it is surrounded by, when it is ready to emerge as a moth. The silkworm also uses this enzyme to allow it to feed on tough mulberry leaves. These days, serrapeptase supplements are not derived from silkworms; the enzyme is derived from a natural fermentation process. Serrapeptase is a protease enzyme; that means it has the ability to digest protein. Research has shown this remarkable enzyme can help to dissolve non-living tissue in the body such as cysts, swellings, plaque and scar tissue.
Serrapeptase helps to reduce inflammation in the body
Excessive inflammation is a feature of just about every disease and is present in any condition where pain, fatigue and fluid retention are present. But what causes inflammation? These are the most common causes:
- Elevated blood sugar. Certainly diabetics experience a great deal of inflammation in their bodies because of elevated blood sugar, but you don’t have to be a diabetic to experience this. Regularly consuming sugar, grains and high glycemic load foods will flood your bloodstream with glucose. Sugar is sticky and it can bind to proteins in your body and damage them.
- Infections. Any type of bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic infection raises inflammation because your immune cells produce massive quantities of inflammatory chemicals as they try to fight the infection. This is particularly a problem in chronic, long term infections.
- Food allergy, intolerance and sensitivity. Whenever you consume a food you are sensitive to, your body behaves as though you swallowed something harmful, such as a virus or bacteria. As your immune system tries to cope with this scenario, it produces a host of inflammatory chemicals. This can become a significant problem if you unknowingly eat this food(s) every day.
- Stress. Unfortunately the hormones your body produces while you are stressed cause inflammatory damage, free radical damage and a great deal of wear and tear to your body. Magnesium helps to counter some of this damage.
- Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep. Good solid sleep is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory remedies there is, and it’s free and feels great. Unfortunately most people know this but try as they might, they can’t get good sleep consistently. Insomnia or just poor quality sleep is endemic in modern society.
- Lack of antioxidants in your diet. All of the various conditions listed above cause your body to use up vitamins, minerals and antioxidants at a much faster rate. The problem is, most people don’t replenish their bodies with nutrients sufficiently. Ideally you would consume a raw vegetable salad for lunch and dinner each day and include a glass of raw vegetable juice most days of the week.
- Injuries, accidents and surgery are a major physical stress on the body and these processes all generate a great volume of inflammatory chemicals. These inflammatory chemicals are very useful in acute conditions and are necessary for the recovery process. Unfortunately many patients are left with chronic pain, swelling and immobility because the inflammatory process has continued for too long. Serrapeptase is excellent for these people.
How Serrapeptase can help
Ideally you could reduce the level of inflammation in your body by addressing each of the points mentioned above. Unfortunately, this is not always possible and sometimes the source of inflammation cannot be identified and remains hidden.
Serrapeptase basically works by giving your insides a good clean up. Being a protein digesting enzyme, it helps to clear out protein deposits that are not serving a useful purpose in your body. It has anti-inflammatory, anti-oedemic (reduces fluid retention) and fibrinolytic activity (helps to break down blood clots). It can help to clear mucus, fluid, blood clots, debris and immune complexes from your body. In this way it helps to reduce pain, improve mobility and increase energy. Serrapeptase helps to keep arteries clean and clear because it reduces the inflammation in arteries which is what promotes cholesterol accumulation and narrowing of the arteries.
How should Serrapeptase be taken?
Serrapeptase must be taken on an empty stomach in order to obtain the systemic anti-inflammatory benefits. If you consume it with a meal, your body will use it to digest the food in your intestines. Therefore most people find it easiest to take serrapeptase first thing in the morning. You can eat half an hour later. A typical starting dose is between 125 000 and 250 000 IU per day.

If it’s faulty or wrongly described, we’ll replace it.
Serrapeptase is a proteolytic enzyme that can digest scar tissue and debris in the human body.
This may help in conditions such as arthritis, spurs, arterial plaque and excess scar tissue inside organs.
It can also help to soften scar tissue in organs and in tendons.
Because it is a natural substance, drug companies are unable to patent it and thus there are no large double blind clinical trials that have been done.

I have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis since 2016, and I start serrapeptase 80000iu twice a day . Is it helpful to remove the scar from my lung?
And what do you recommend
Serrapeptase is valuable to reduce scar tissue in the lungs, and Vitamin E helps to soften scar tissue to make it easier to resolve.
Although your condition has no clear cause be aware that inflammation makes the situation worse and so we recommend an anti-inflammatory diet as is found with Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program.
To boost lung health Dr Cabot prescribes NAC and Selenium.

I am interested In serrapeptase for myself and others, but I am frightened after reading countless reviews about severe vomiting on serrapeptase, also by people who take it well away from food, with lots of water, and in low dosages.
Do you have any idea what causes the vomiting and, more urgently, do you know of a remedy for it?
I simply don’t have the courage to take it with this apparently quite common side effect.

I have syringoma under my eyes, on my neck, and over my torso. Would serrapeptase help to clear it?
There are different forms of Syringomas and all are benign.
If there are others within your family that have also developed them, it may be considered that you have the familial form.
All forms arise from sweat glands and rather than Serrapeptase Dr Cabot recommends you begin taking NAC and begin with a dose of ¼ teaspoon twice daily in water followed by a large glass of water, and gradually increase the dose to ½ teaspoon twice daily.
Other supplements prescribed by Dr Cabot are Selenium 1 daily, Vitamin C, Bacto Clear 1 twice daily with food and Vitamin D 1 capsule each morning and to have a Vitamin D blood test to ensure you are not too deficient and if so you may take 2 capsules daily and always take them with a source of good fat like fish oil capsules.
Please also have your cholesterol checked.

Stage 4 CKD is a serious state and you need to be under the care of a Urologist because you need to have specialized dietary and medical advice that is beyond the scope of this service.
Ringing in the ears is very often associated with inflammation and/or vitamin D and Vitamin K deficiency so it is important to determine what may be contributing to this.
Severe scarring of the kidneys is often caused by Lupus, kidney infection or a strep throat leading to autoimmune kidney disease; are any of these potential causes relevant?
Serrapeptase and Vitamin E are most beneficial, and if we can determine the cause we can help to put treatments into place to slow its progress.

My mum has liver cirrhosis and a portal vein thrombosis for which she is on enoxaparin injections for once a day. Would it be safe to start her on a small dose of serrapeptase to help with the scarring? She doesn't have ascites or varices. We have started vitamin e, vitamin c and milk thistle. There is a doctor in the family who can check for signs of bleeding but obviously don't want to cause any internal haemorrhages. Thanks
The dose of Enoxaparin is likely to be quite low to prevent any bleeding and if you then add Serrapeptase to help to rectify some of your mother's cirrhotic tissue, you may be able to reduce the pharmaceutical drug even more.
To assist with liver protection and best possible function, Dr Cabot prescribes Livatone Plus, NAC and Ox Bile.

We are all very lucky that the liver is such a forgiving organ and your low vitamin A diet will be fortified from the amount in your liver at present.
Rather than Serrapeptase you are advised to begin taking Livatone Plus, NAC, and Collagen Food. The amount of beta-carotene in Livatone Plus is very low.
You are also recommended to begin each day with lemon juice in hot water and at least one fresh low beta carotene vegetable juice daily.

My son is diagnosed with syringomyelia (cyst in spinal cord). I'm in the process of motivating both him and his mother to read up on serrapeptase. Any opinions from you on this condition may get them over the edge to give serrapeptase and/or other supplements a try in an attempt to dissolve the cyst, or at least stop it's growth to avoid ever increasing neurological symptoms. Thanks so much for your time.
Martin
Serrapeptase is definitely a supplement to consider.
Another aspect of your son’s condition is to deny the cyst growth potential.
To do this restrict carbohydrates because they provide a lot of fuel for nasty things to grow,
Dairy foods all contain ILGF-1 that is a growth promotant which is necessary for baby animals but is to be avoided completely when there are growths within the body.
Supplementation is also important and to boost your son’s immune system to heal the spinal area where the cyst is, and Dr Cabot prescribes NAC, Selenium and Vitamin K.

I have fatty liver with liver enlarged to 16.4cm as mentioned in the Ultrasound. And I also have 2 fibroids, one subserous in the cervix with 10cm and the other one 4cm intramural. Can I take Serrapeptase for my condition? If not, please suggest something to correct both these conditions. I am 5ft tall and weigh about 63 kgs. I have a lean body but all the weight seems to be in the belly area. Thank you
You may take Serrapeptase but it is not the best way to reverse Fatty Liver and it is not our recommended treatment for fibroids.
Fatty Liver tends to be either alcohol or diet related so the first thing is to remove the offending substance.
Alcohol is easy but we all have to eat and we have found so many have benefited from Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program over an extended period of time.
Fibroids are an indication of estrogen dominance, which can be also seen as progesterone deficiency and this can be balanced with Femme Phase and Fem Pro.

Both of these acronyms are accepted as Serrapeptase Units.
If you have no sensitivity to Serrapeptase, Dr Cabot recommends you begin at 250,000 units daily and gradually increase your dose to up to 250,000 three times daily but dosage depends on the percentage blockage of the arteries that are affected. This is a problem best dealt with as quickly as possible.
As well as taking a supplement, it is important to understand that the plaque in your arteries has been deposited in line with your lifestyle and dietary choices.
In addition to Serrapeptase Dr Cabot prescribes 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program, NAC, Selenium, Magnesium Ultrapotent, fish oil, and CoQ10.

My question, serrapeptase is about clearing scar tissue but I'm told that it's the scaring that will heal the varicies. I'm a bit confused as I don't want to stop taking it as I feel so much better. Your advice would be very helpful regards Sue
When tissue is damaged the body can’t repair it exactly as it was, and scar tissue is formed, and the Serrapeptase may retard the healing of the varices.
It seems that your NASH may have progressed to fibrosis or cirrhosis.

Can I take Serrapeptase 250,000 IU one week after fat transfer to face to speed up healing? Would it help with potential fat necrosis and lumps? Or will it absorb the new fat tissue there?
Serrapeptase is exceptionally good at resolving extraneous protein in the body and joints and we recommend it regularly for people with fat build up in the blood vessels and for this reason it may not be the best supplement to take.
Vitamin C promotes rapid healing and resolves bruising quickly.
You need to speak to the practitioner who did the transfer because fat transfer is not something we are familiar with.

Research is showing there is a degree of autoimmunity with endometriosis and adenomyosis so in addition to using Serrapeptase to unblock your tubes, we recommend a diet that reduces your body’s tendency to create the endometrial tissue.
Dr Cabot’s 15 Day Cleanse and Maintenance Program is highly anti-inflammatory and provides a calming environment within your body.
Adenomyosis and endometriosis are indications of estrogen dominance which may be due to progesterone deficiency and/or high xenoestrogen intake with a modern diet high in processed foods and exposure to plastics and BPAs, which are stored in the liver and fat cells.
Livatone Plus and NAC accelerate a return to best liver health and function.
To reduce period pain, Fish Oil is indicated and to take 1 capsule twice daily for first half of each cycle and 2 capsules twice daily for second half of cycle, and to reduce the effect of estrogen dominance use Fem Pro daily.

Serrapeptase is certainly indicated for both of you.
Begin with a dose of 1 capsule daily for a few days to ensure you do not have any sensitivity and when you are confident progress to 1 capsule twice daily.
Serrapeptase is valuable as a natural anti-inflammatory that may be able to also minimize any medication either of you are taking, so discuss this with your doctors.

Although Serrapeptase removes novel protein from joints and blood vessels we do not expect it to have an adverse effect on the flu shot.

Is it safe to take serrapeptase if you have portal hypertension due to cirrhosis? I’m terrified to take serrapeptase because my spleen is enlarged now and I don’t know how much would be safe to take? Thanks so much for your time and help please.
Dr Cabot says to take 1 capsule of Serrapeptase twice daily until it is shown to have no side effects and then you may increase to 2 capsules twice daily for best therapeutic value.
We strongly recommend you also take Vitamin E to soften the cirrhotic scar tissue.
Care is to be taken with Serrapeptase and Vitamin E if bleeding problems have developed.
It is also important to have diet and lifestyle as healthy as possible and to follow Dr Cabot’s Fatty Liver book's protocol, and if you have virally induced liver disease this book may be of much help.

I have several problems in my neck, including burst intervertebral discs, spondylosis and cervical stenosis. I have been using serrapeptase 80,000 units to help with the inflammation and to help with the scar tissue, etc. So far, I feel a definite improvement and I would like to keep taking it. So I have several questions:
- can I take indefinitely?
- is that dose ok?
-can I take it with black coffee?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
All the best,
B
We are pleased you have noticed a definite improvement with the use of Serrapeptase although we recommend a minimum dose of 250,000SU daily.
Serrapeptase must be taken on an empty stomach for best absorption and black coffee may reduce the absorption.
Serrapeptase can be taken safely long term, but the inflammation and bone concerns may be due to deficiencies.
Have you had a bone density scan?
Blood tests can be used to check for vitamin D deficiency, which can worsen bone loss and aggravate inflammation.
If your bone density is shown to be low then we strongly recommend Super Vitamin K.

2. Is it safe to take serrapeptase with the Livertone plus , Eye Formula and Vit D3 (currently taking) and Kidney Health and Femmephase?
3. Is Femmephase suitable for post-menopause more than 3 years and those 50 and above?
Hemangiomas are benign growths in the liver and are often related to either OCP or HRT use.
Serrapeptase may assist the healing of them, and is not likely to interact with the other supplements you are taking.
It is best to take Serrapeptase well away from food and other supplements to maximize its absorption.
If you are still experiencing symptoms of menopause Femme Phase is most valuable.

Phlebitis or Thrombophlebitis is inflammation of the blood vessels and may be either superficial or affect the deeper veins.

Your symptoms seem highly suggestive of autoimmune disease and we recommend you remove all gluten and dairy from your diet to reduce generalized inflammation. Dr Cabot prescribes NAC to reduce inflammation. Take 1 to 2 capsules twice daily with a LARGE glass of water.
Nobody with endometriosis is wise to consume dairy.
Many people now take their levothyroxine in the middle of the night to ensure best absorption and to not be impeded by any food.
Thyroid Health Capsules are indicated to boost conversion of your thyroid medication to the bioactive form to boost your metabolism and will also supply selenium to modulate your immune system and reduce autoimmune antibodies.
Serrapeptase and Vitamin E are a great combination to help reverse scar tissue.
Fibroids are often an indication of ‘Estrogen Dominance’ and you are very likely to benefit from progesterone, especially if you have been unable to hold a pregnancy to term.
If your cysts are PCOS, the progesterone may have a double benefit to resolve them, and take care it is a potent conceptive. We have many progesterone babies in our records.
